A 5-wk trial with 96 ((Landrace× Yorkshire)×Duroc) pigs (BW = 26.56±0.42 kg) was conducted to investigate the effect of eugenol and cinnamaldehyde as feed additive in growing pigs. Pigs were assigned to 1 of 3 treatments in a randomized complete block design according to their sex and BW. Each treatment contained 8 replications with 4 pigs (2 gilts and 2 barrows) per pen. Treatments included: c...

the effects of wet-feeding of five levels of corn steep liquor (csl) on broilers performance and relative internal organ weights were examined. three hundreds 1-d old broilers (ross 308) were randomly allocated to one of the six dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with 5 replications of 10 chicks per pen. the dietary treatments were: 1. dry-fed control, no add water nor csl in ...

A total of 2,160 pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initial BW 77.3 lb) were used in a 112-d growth trial to evaluate the effects normal or high SID Thr:Lys ratio diets with and without DDGS on performance. Pigs randomly assigned pens (27 per pen) randomized complete block design by 20 replications treatment. Pens allotted 1 4 dietary treatments arranged 2 factorial main Thr level (Normal vs. High) (with DD...

This study was conducted using one hundred and eighty (180) day-old broiler chicks, of Anak strain to assess the levels of inclusion of indomie waste meal as a substitute for maize at 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The birds were randomly assigned to dietary treatments using completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment contained 3 replicates and each replicate had 6 birds. The study lasted for e...

two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of phytase supplementation on layer hens and broiler chickens performance and compare the use of phytase nutrient equivalency values in feed formulation with those fed conventional diet. in the first ex-periment, 640 commercial broiler chicks were used from 11 to 49 days of age. the ex-perimental units were allocated at random to 4 dietary ...

three different experiments were conducted to study the effect of dietary astaxanthin on the immune response, resistance to white spot syndrome virus (wssv) and transcription of antioxidant enzyme genes in pacific white shrimp litopenaeus vannamei. each experiment included one triplicate treatment group (fed with 80 mg/kg astaxanthin supplemented diet) and one triplicate control group (fed with...

The ruminal microbiome in herbivores plays a dominant role in the digestion of lignocellulose and has potential to improve animal productivity. Kankrej cattle, a popular native breed of the Indian subcontinent, were used to investigate the effect of different dietary treatments on the bacterial diversity in ruminal fractions using different primer pairs. Two groups of four cows were assigned to...

An experiment was conducted to estimate relative bioavailability of Zn in 3 organic zinc sources with different chelation strength (Q(f)) compared with ZnSO(4). A total of 1,092, 1-d-old male broiler chicks were assigned randomly to 6 replicate cages (14 chicks per cage) for each of 13 treatments. Dietary treatments included the basal corn-soybean meal diet (27.82 mg of Zn/kg of DM) supplemente...

Two experimental factors (dietary treatment with or without pelleted-concentrate supplement (PCS) and sex) were investigated in crossbreed post-weaning calves to monitor their effects on performance, hematological profile, and plasma mineral concentration. Twenty-four post-weaning calves were classified according to sexually (either male or female) and randomly distributed into two dietary trea...
